I have children 6 and 5 years old. I teach them breath and to recognize a thought in their mind. I tell them to let thought wash away with the creek water and I point to the creek. Is there something else I should suggest to them when they show interest? They ask about hand positions.

The can find real life only in what they see with their eyes and hear with their ears. They can stay with that experience. And there is no need to add thoughts - just stay in your centers.
